"The face of the operation is Briatore (referred to exclusively in the film by his colleagues and angry, chanting detractors as "Flavio"), an anthropomorphic radish who spends most of his time at QPR plotting to fire all of the managers."

At press time, Harbaugh had sent Michigan’s athletic department an envelope containing a heavily annotated seating chart, a list of the 63,000 seat views he had found unsatisfactory, and a glowing 70-page report on section 25, row 12, seat 9, which he claimed is “exactly what the great sport of football is all about.”

Gator Bowl Open Thread

I'm not seeing a Liveblog planned....yet...so if it occurs, this can go unused. But the Liveblog chatter usually starts an hour, hour and a half before kickoff. And rather than 100 different posts on every thought about the game, and surfing through them all, I'll attempt at least one central point for it.

I figure everyone will be watching the Gator Bowl primarily, and just flipping to the other games in the first part, so updates here will be appreciated.

We could probably reach that in a quarter. Speaking of which, if people want to start new threads by quarter, I wouldn't be opposed to that. Having to load 300 comments per page is annoying enough, much less flipping through pages of commets within a thread.

All the Michigan duds are in full dress (including the bright Maize pants) and we're headed to a friends house to watch all the games.

The DVR is set so I can enjoy the Meeeeechigan Victory all over again.

Life should not be a journey to the grave to arrive safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What A Ride!" HST

My wife was who wanted to play, which is odd because she's the one who complains about my domineering, control-freak personality during the game. I got bankrupted first, and so I think everyone else was pretty happy. The only flare-up involving me was when I got chided for taking too "long" trying to swindle Marvin Gardens from my son.

I love this team. I care more about the success of these players than I think I ever did under Carr. I don't know what it is. I still cared a lot about them then too. I think it's the tribulations of the past 3 years that make you realize that you really are a fan of the team and not of just winning. I don't take Michigan Football for granted like I used to. Anyways, leave it all on the field gentlemen. GO BLUE!

Met Gallon's fiancé, she's adorable, and says Gallon playing QB is real and a protection for DG's redshirt. He's excited and wants to go in. He's practicing at QB in the warm-ups. Was going to pick up her chicken strips, but thought this might be a violation. s/ sort of

Fitz is also running as 3rd string back

The cowbells are cop-out from a lazy fan base unwilling to cheer on their own. But they're nice people

ARGH I am not sure what this defensive scheme is built to do. The 3rd and 11 throw had the receiver 1 on 1 and the corner providing a 10 yard cushion. Then again I have never played organized football.

I saw that matcup and before the snap I thought. Ok yup. However our boys came to play.
